Contemplating a truly romantic experience this Valentines’ day? Oaga Art Resort has planned the ultimate romantic getaway with memorable experiences elevated especially for you with their special ‘Oaga’ twist. The three day celebration is set to commence one day prior on the 13 February and goes on till 15 February 2023.

The resort is adapting a colour palette inspired by the scales of the red snapper, weaving together exotic violets and blues to the usual mix of romantic colours. Their tagline for this Valentine’s Day is from the famous song by the Beatles, “All You Need Is Love”.

The resort’s all-inclusive Valentines’ day buffet has been planned especially within this theme complete with live entertainment. Should you want to make the evening even more memorable, private dining options at the beach is available, either in front of your villa or alfresco by the main restaurant. Another more unique option to explore is an exclusive dinner at a nearby private sandbank complete with a private chef, server and musician to add to the romance of the night.

Before the Valentines’ day dinner, experience the sunset cruise on a traditional Maldivian sail dhoni, a rarity in these modern times. As you slow sail into the horizon, you can enjoy the mesmerising view of the sky set ablaze with the rays of the setting sun. When it darkens, the night is lit aglow with neon lights of the resort.

During this Valentine’s festive period the Hoba Spa will be hosting aromatherapy Love Rituals consisting of a 60-90 minute Aroma massage and the option to add a valhu (well) romantic experience. They also offer Valentine’s Day Recovery therapies exclusively, in addition to complimentary sessions for couples yoga, sound healing as well as classes for couples massages. A very romantic, relaxing and rejuvenating experience awaits.

At Oaga Art Resort, Valentine’s it not just for couples. Their kids club will be on full swing with activities such as planting a tree as a symbol of love and a movie night on the eve of Valentines’ day.

Other one-of-a-kind experiences on offer include creative expression classes for vow renewal, “All you need is love” themed art sessions, cocktail classes, cooking classes and take notes guitar lessons. Themed buggy services are also available for any couple who would like to pick up their dates from the villas. The exclusive experiences have been bundled up into attractive packages for ease of convenience, ensuring your Valentine’s Day is full of love, romance and magic.

For Maldives lovers searching for an all-inclusive holiday, Oaga Art Resort’s Greatest All-Inclusive plan re-defines the limits of what All-Inclusive is all about; with inclusions such as Creative Expression (art) classes, Take Notes (music) experiences, Thashibari In-Villa Dining to floating meal, choices of excursions, motorised watersports and many more.

The Maldives has long been synonymous with romance, and now it takes centre stage in Condé Nast Traveller’s curated list of the ‘Most Romantic Places in the World’. The magazine highlights the archipelago’s unparalleled ability to create dreamlike escapes for couples, setting a gold standard for intimate getaways.

From the moment you set foot in the Maldives, the enchantment begins. Confetti-like tropical fish flit through crystal-clear lagoons, while overwater villas offer vistas of mantas gliding gracefully beneath. Add in the luxury of floating breakfasts served in your private pool and intimate dinners on pristine beaches, and you have the perfect recipe for romance.

Condé Nast Traveller notes that while the Maldives caters to families too, its essence of romance is unrivalled. The country’s private island resorts, nestled amid lush jungles and encircled by house reefs, redefine luxury. With world-class spas, fine dining, and starlit experiences, the Maldives effortlessly marries natural beauty with bespoke hospitality.

The Maldives is home to some of the world’s most celebrated resorts, and Condé Nast highlights a few that stand out:

  • Vakkaru Maldives: A lush retreat where couples can enjoy a private dinner and movie at the island’s jungle cinema under the stars.
  • Six Senses Laamu: The brand’s latest addition to the Maldives offers an exceptional spa experience, complete with a couples’ suite for ultimate relaxation.
  • Gili Lankanfushi Maldives: This eco-luxury resort epitomises romantic aesthetics with its overwater villas set against one of the country’s most mesmerszing lagoons.

For hoteliers and hospitality professionals in the Maldives, this recognition underscores the archipelago’s enduring allure as a romantic haven. It’s a reminder of the importance of maintaining world-class service, crafting unique guest experiences, and preserving the pristine beauty that defines the Maldives.

The Condé Nast Traveller mention is more than just an accolade; it’s an opportunity for local hoteliers to further cement the Maldives’ position as the ultimate destination for couples seeking an off-grid escape steeped in romance.

As the Maldives continues to set benchmarks in hospitality, there’s no doubt that its reputation as a lovers’ paradise will only grow stronger. For the industry, this is a call to celebrate the archipelago’s unique offerings and ensure that each guest leaves with memories as enduring as the turquoise waters that surround them.
